Doctor Eugene Gu wrote in response: ”There it is. I’ve been deathly afraid of this exact moment where Trump turns to racism and xenophobia and calls Covid-19 the ‘Chinese Virus.’

“We are in deep trouble as a nation now that President of the United States makes the conscious decision to go down this dark path of hate.”

China’s foreign ministry said on Tuesday that Trump’s tweet smears China, and that Beijing strongly opposes the president’s usage of the words.

Diverting blame from himself for the litany of reckless actions that made this pandemic much worse in the US - getting rid of the pandemic response team, cuts to the CDC, calling the concern about the virus a "hoax" at his rally & whatabout'ing to the flu - to China is the obv. ploy. His base can then defend him bc & blame China. Even though Trump has replicated many of the errors China made. Like muzzling public health officials & downplaying it irresponsibly.

It's ridiculous that Zoomers & everybody else must follow rules on Twitter about what's allowable to post or get booted but the impeached POTUS can post whatever he wants.
They are at least marking videos that have been altered as fake. So that's a start.

Please only post here if you're a zoomer.

The USA is imploding. Even in this time of crisis where you see the people of Spain and Italy and China, pulling together...... If CF is a microcosm of the USA, then even this virus still sees everyone pointing the finger across the political divide.

While I dislike our PM and the political antics, I have to admit the two political parties have completely suspended point-scoring and speak with one voice. When the govt makes a statement the opposition says it fully supports the govt action. That provides a lot of confidence.
